River Torrens Linear Park Trail

This pleasant trail can be reached from city center, but its waterfront views, open fields and quiet surroundings lend a country feel that’s hard to find in most urban settings. Linear Park offers visitors an ideal setting for afternoon sunbathing, relaxing picnics, or even a dip in the River Torrens. The trail, which wraps past the Adelaide Festival Center, Convention Center and the local zoo, is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a recreational bike ride.

Practical Info

The park can get crowded in evenings and on the weekends, so it’s best to visit on weekdays or in the morning. Most people pick up the trail near Elder Park, in the heart of Adelaide.
